WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The first time L
ever saw Senator Sherman at home was
at his country place in Mansfield, Ohio.
His residence there is very unlike the one
he has in Washington. When congress is
in session and he is ct the capital he is
one of the busiest of men, and has not
much time to enjoy the comforts OF a
home; but once away from the busy

Resolutions Adopted by the Cincinnati
Chember Of Commerce on the Rengau
Cuuom Bill.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
CINCINNATI, OHIO, Jan. 3.-The Gin
cinn&ti chamber Of commerce adopted to-
day the following resolutions in reference
to the action of congress on the Reagan
Cullom interstate commerce bill. The
resolutions were sent to the senators and
representatives from Ohio in congress:
The transportation committee, to whom
was referred the question OF the proper
action of this chamber on the Interstate
commerce bill. recently reported by q con-
ference committee to congress, fad it very
embarrassing to make report ard advise
action after such g brief notice. 1t is stated
that the supporters of the bill will Gu
deayor to call it mp TOR action Tomorrow.
The business men Of the country have
hardly seen the bill as reported by the
committee, and it is not likely that
any large number have so thoroughly d.
gested it as to be able to form deiuite
opinion as to the bearings that all its pro
visions VIII have. 1t is surprising that
there should be an attempt on the part OF
congress to pass such 3 measure, lnyOIy
ing such radical and important charges,
without first consulting the leading com
mercisI organizations OF he country.
Referred to your committee on Thurs
d9y,it hiss been Impossible tomake anyfull
examination Of the law, or TO consult
with any large number of merrepresent-
ing in erests which might be impaired or
benefited by it. Representatives from
the different railroad companies center
ing here were invited to meet the COM
mittee. and they gave their views fully
and clearly, but all parties interested
should be heard. One feature of the bill
is, we find, universally condemned-sec
ton known as the short and long
haul clause. 1t is the sense of your
committee that this clause should be

ROBBERY.
G. Clark Convicted Of ssROiling"
n Drunken Man.

N Drunken Man.
The case OF G. Clark was tried in
Judge Cheney's Court yesterday. The
defendant was charged with having
stolen the sum of 81 from ]. Andrews
whilst he was drunk and held by a
man named w. Bert.
A youth named Otto Cornelius testi
fed to seeing Clark and Bert with the
drunken man, and also saw Clark
put his hand into the mans pocket
and afterwards observed a nickel in
Clark's hand. Mrs. Methvin and the
Misses McGusie testified to seeing the
men together, and they observed
Clark put his hand in the drunk's
pocket, but could not swear that they
saw him take anything, although they
saw him return his hand into his own
pocket. Officer Methvin gave some
evidence of the arrest and when he
searched Clark at the Police Station
the sum of $2 was found on his person,
A witness testified to Clark's good
character, but two others who were
called could not testify to his charac-
ter beyond their own personal knowl-
edge Of him.
Clark and Bert admitted being with
J. Andrews, but said they did not
take any money from him.
The jury found the prisoner guilty
of grand larceny and he will appear
this morning for sentence.

saturated with liquor. Nothing fur
ther could be learned until 8 o'clock
last night, when it was learned that at
the time of the excitement the odon-
tologist had first pulled out a revolver
to kill himself and next knife. Both
attempts at suicide had been foiled by
a friend # the dentist, who is con-
nected with cloak store on Spring
street, and the crazed man was taken
care of and removed to his residence
on North Olive street. 1t is positively
stated that he was laboring under
hallucinations due to an over-in-
diligence in intoxicants and to
his horror at Harlan's fate, which
has been on his mind ever since he
first heard of it. The dentist is suf-
ferer from pulmonary disease and
had had six hemorrhages of the lungs
the day before. This accounts for his
overdose of intoxicating liquor. A
police officer who is friend of the
family went to the house of the un-
fortunate man to watch him through
the night, and DIR. Coles services
were called for. At late hour the
dentist was resting easy and his men,
tai excitement had somewhat sub
sided.

A Wandering Boy.

George Lewis, the 15-year-old son OF
a dressmaker who resides on Buena
Vista street, was committed for two
months to the San Francisco Boys
and Girls Aid Society about twelve
days ago. He was taken to San Pedro
and committed to the custody OF the
mate of the steamer, along with the
papers remanding HIM legally to the
Society. The mate failed to deliver
them to the Captain, and the officers
of the institution also failed to call at
the wharf for the boy, who was then
left on his arrival in the city to do
the best he could for himself. After
doing little work on the water front
for week, he managed to pay his fare
as far as Santa Barbara and beat his
way back from there to Los Angeles.
Officer Wright, of the Humane Society,
met the boy last night, and after a
consultation with the Chief of Police,
allowed Lewis to go home to his
mother.

J. W. Hamburg Relieved of His
Watch and Valua5les.

About IL o'clock Wednesday night
as Mr.. J. W. Hamburg was returning
from Pasadena, where he had been
during the day on business, he was
accosted by two tough looking speci-
mems of humanity, just as he had en-
tered the corporate limits OF the city
and relieved of a small sum of money,
and watch Of little value.
The rutfians came upon him uneX-
pectedly, one OF them suddenly
springing up from behind a small
clump OF bushes and seizing his horse
by the reins, while the other sprang
upon him and being a powerful man
easily pinioned his arms while he
went through his clothes, securing all
that Mr.. Hamburg had upon his
person.
He was then allowed to depart in
peace and thinks he would know the
ruffians should he see them again,
although he was not able to procure a
good sight of their faces. One of them
is described as tall, powerful and
wearing a slouch hat, while his con-
federate was a small man.

The last transgressor was j. w. Frey,
who was found guilty yesterday by
Justice Austin and will be sentenced
this morning.
Patsy McGettinger, said to be the
companion of Joe Smith and Mike
Griffin, the men whose arrest by the
police induced their friends to sue out
writs of habeas corpus for them, was
arrested yesterday on warrant by
Constable Martin Aguirre. Patsy is
accused OF completely in robbery
with the other two.
When George II. Watson, whose
thirty days in the county Jail for petty

The Reward.

M. V. Wright, the officer of the Los
Angeles Humane Society, who is col
lecting sums to be applied as a re-
ward for Constables Aguirre and
Johnston, the capturers OF Tom CORN
ley, the rapist, reports that he has
only collected SOL. He believes that
if he had been authorized to begin
his canvass at the moment of CORN
ley's return, when public feeling was
very much excited. he could have
collected 81 900 easily. Wright says
that Los Angeles, like most other
places, is apt to get very calm when
the first rush of indignation is over
and then the gathering of shekels to
reward meritorious officers becomes
much so.
